The number of games played & highest rating reached has WAY too much of an effect on rating.
I have had plenty of time to test this on the few \years ive been on lichess & its basically a fact at this point.
I have incurred health problems, which has in turn sent my rating down; and up when I recover etc.
Once you reach a certain 'tier' of higher ratings; as I know everyone has seen; you will then need to start playing the next higher tier in order to gain significant rating increase.
By tiers; it is often separated by 1000< to 1300< to 1500 < to ratings 1500-1750 to 1751 to 1999 to 2000 to 2199 to 2200 to 2499 to 2500 +. Multiple people can confirm this. Just the way the 'boosts' work when playing against a player of said rating; as it is factored into your rating vs your games played vs several other factors.
But, your games played & however its calculated with highest rating reached; once reaching a certain amount; starts to weigh the sum MUCH too heavily.
I could post around 200 games of this. Instead. Ill just post one.
